Today was Monday, June 12, and it was a rare “off day” for me and Tempest Tours. \u00a0Tour 5 had finished up the day prior, and Tour 6 would begin at 10 a.m. on Tuesday here in Denver. \u00a0Well, it was not a total off day for me, as I was busy getting the vans ready for the next tour. \u00a0After the oil changes and the tire rotations and the van washes (some of which had been completed on Sunday), I would be free. \u00a0And, today was looking like a great day to be a chaser and to be free to chase out of Denver. \u00a0A potent upper-level low was translating northeastward through the Great Basin this afternoon, and moist low-level easterlies were pointed towards the Cheyenne Ridge! \u00a0YES! \u00a0The instability and shear were very favorable for storm rotation and even for tornadoes. \u00a0SPC had a moderate risk in place by 13Z, with a 15-percent hatched tornado area outlined from about I-80 northward in eastern WY and the adjacent western NE Panhandle.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
